That the most OF the applicants are

most persistent have the least merit.
They don't know anything about the law,
and don't want to know anything about

The Criminal Insane.

Massachusetts is considerably exer-
cised over the presence OF the criminal
inssne'' in her Iunatic asylums. The
board of trustees OF the Taunton Lunatic
Hospital characterizes the presence OF
this class OF patients as a crying evil"
and calls upon the Legislature to grant
relief
In this respect Georgia is fully as UNI
Fortunate as Massachusetts,. The law re-
quires that all the "criminal inaane''
shall be sent to the asylum at Milledge-
vile. The result is that the institution is
compelled to receive many persons who
should be otherwise provided for. 1t was
not originally intended that tue Superin-
tendent of the asylum and his assistants
should be made penal officers. They
were originally employed to discharge
philanthropic duties toward unfOrtunates
who were free from any faint OF crime,
That they are now forced to act as jailers
to petty offenders, thieves aud murderers.
is degrading to them, and is unjust to
those patients who have never committed
crime,
There is another view OF this matter.
1t is a well known tact that criminals
often escape punishment by pleading in
sanity. The law requires that these per.
sons shall be sent to the asylum. TIE
government of the asylum differs from
that OF common Jail, in that patients
who are not violent are allowed cOnsidera.
bic liberty. Any other course would not
be humane. II cannot be successfully
a. fod
sane" lose all violence as soon as they are
sent to the asylum, and are, in conse.
quence. given the liberty allowed
patients who are not criminal. The
result is, the criminal insane" In
many instances soon take French leave
OF the asylum, aud the law is defrauded.
y case in point is that Of Sam Hill, the
murderer of simmons. Shrewd lawyers
saved him from life imprisonment in the
penitentiary by pleading that he was In
sane, and had him sent to the asylum. he
soon escaped, and recently had the eff
frontery TO write the Governor from a
distant State and petition for pardon.
There is a simple remedy for the evil,
and the members of the General
Assembly may find 1t profitable to
ths State to give their atten-
tion TO it Immediately upon reas.
sembling for the summer session. Let a
separate institution for the "crlminal in
sane" be established. The expense would
be small, because the establishment OF
such an institution would decrease the
expense OF maintaining the asylum.
Legislation in this direction would be in
the nature OF needed reform, and that
member OF the General Assembly who un-
dertakes II Will merit the commentator
of his fellow citizens.

FOND OF DISCUSSION.

A Baltimorcan Leaves Thirty-Five Thou
sand Dollars for the Support of Debating
Societies.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. o. Humphrey
Moore, who died here the other day, left
5000 to build and support an institution
for tho debating societies Of Baltimore.
Mr.. Moore was fond Of public discussion.
He believed in settling disputes by discus
sions, and often declared that he thought
no young man educated who could
not make good extemporaneous
speech. That clause in the will referring
to the institute says that he desires it
established for open discussions in the In
forests Of morality, patriotism, intelligence
and political science. Mr.. Moore when he
came to Baltimore in 1874, opened an old
curiosity shop, where he kept all sorts Of
literature oddities that could not be found
elsewhere. Geo. w. Childs, the Philadel-
phia editor and philanthroplst, was, whom
a lad, clerk in his store. Tho money he
made in books he invested in stocks, and
after making over 500, 900 he retired.
